Why did Jesus have diciples?

When Jesus lived on Earth, He began His teaching ministry by choosing 12 men to join Him. These men called disciples spent time with Him, listened to Him, and followed Him. The first reason Jesus had disciples was because He was a rabbi (pronounced Rab-Eye). the disciples saw how He lived, what He did, and What He said, and they learned from Him. The second reason was He commanded them to make more disciples which means more followers which means better lived under the watch of God Himself.

Its Kinda like having followers. He needed someone to believe. Someone to preach to or teach so it could be passed down.
